Re: Mass Shootings/Gun Control Reform Thread
Background checks on all sales? Waiting periods? Making it a crime to sell to people who shouldn't have guns? It's might just be crazy enough to work! Although, being able to drive a short distance to circumvent those rules might be an issue. And none of it takes away anyone's right to own a gun. Ex...

Re: Boeing
Profits need to be maximized. Employees are expected to produce results. Employees aren't given the proper tools to complete the jobs, and they know if they complain then management will just find someone else who won't complain, to do the job. Unions can make this more difficult of course, but when...

Re: Presidential ranking
The USSR wasn't more about leadership seeing that the path they were on wasn't conducive to long term stability or success. They recognized that changes needed to be made. Military spending was out of control, so they decided to claw it back lest it lead on unwieldy debt. Of course, a crime boss and...

If you'd like to make a case for Schneider being funny, go for it. Was it Hot Chicks? Deuce Bigalow? The Animal? Anything that wasn't an Adam Sandler movie? What about his stand-up? Any good jokes?

Re: The GOP Snowflake Thread
Yeah. Republicans are too woke for Rob Schneider.
Schneider didn't suddenly become inappropriate and offensive. They should have known beforehand.
I have never found the man funny, whether it's SNL or his movies.
There's a reason why he's not out touring.

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
If you don't believe that Donald's words, even if they're not his own, pose a threat then I'm not sure you understand MAGA. Is the thought here that MAGA are rational human beings, not prone to acting out? I would like to see someone make that case. You could try Googling MAGA and violence and, well...

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Donald is absolutely a danger to others. There likely would be no gag order if it weren't the case. Specifically, a gag order against those who are not witnesses in the case.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war
Iran attacked US bases while Donald was in charge, any notion that they wouldn't have done what they did if he was president, is laughable.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war
Reports say that Iran has launched drones against Israel. It is also reported that they will take hours to get to Israel. This is according to the IDF. I've not seen any corroboration. Given my limited war knowledge, I'm not entirely sure how effective it will be, if your weapons take hours to reach...

Re: What’s going to happen to Trump Mon Mar 25 2024?
Art is subjective as is, often, it's value. Much of the time people will buy art based on the name, because that's more of a status thing. A painting by Adolf Hitler would fetch a higher price because of who painted it, not because of how good the painting is, which in his case would be "not go...

The AIDS funding didn't reach the 2 billion threshold until Reagan's final year.
